of miss universe pageant attacked over 'malnourished' beauty queen

Miss Universe pageant attacked over 'malnourished' beauty queen: 19-year-old Stephanie Naumoska, a contestant at the Australian finals of the pageant, was just skin and bone. See photos below.
She was tall enough - at 5ft 10in - to be the perfect height for a model but what has alarmed health experts is her weight. She weighs only 7st 7lb and has a Body Mass Index of 15.1 - and that, by World Health Organisation standards, means she is malnourished. Her BMI should be between 18.5 and 24.9 to fall into the 'average' category. When the pageant organisers were asked why they had allowed Miss Naumoska to parade before the cameras when her ribs and pelvic bones could be seen protruding alarmingly, an official reply was that her look was all to do with her heritage.

'She's Macedonian,' said one official.
